    Lewiston Heating and Cooling Repairs

    You may need to call a professional for HVAC repairs once or twice a year. Fortunately, you can usually tell when a system is malfunctioning, so you can get the problem taken care of right away. Abnormally long or short cycles spell trouble for any heat pump or furnace, as do continual loud noises like rattling, grinding, and hissing. Another more subtle indication of a failing unit is an unexplained spike in your energy bill.

    Make sure to leave the inspection and repair to an expert because DIY projects can often cause more damage to the unit. You’ll get an accurate diagnosis and a no-obligation estimate for whatever repair is ahead. We want to mention how we’ve stocked our trucks with all parts and supplies. It means we can finish many repairs in a single visit. We’re also available 24/7 to respond to emergencies.

    Installing High-Quality HVAC Products

    Sometimes, a repair won’t cut it, especially with a system older than 10 years. Different systems have different lifespans: a maximum of around 15 years for heat pumps and gas furnaces, 25 years for oil and electric furnaces, and 30 years for mini-splits. If yours is nearing the end of its lifespan and performing poorly, consider a replacement.

    Or, let’s say you’re building a new home and need someone to discuss the details of heating and AC. One of our technicians could tell you what size system your home will need and explain more about mini-splits if you want to go ductless. You could also look into getting a smart thermostat for the most personalized indoor comfort. You can set up a financing plan, too, on approved credit.

    HVAC Company Expert Yearly Maintenance

    Industry experts recommend you get a tune-up for your heater and air conditioner. One reason is that, as time passes, HVAC units develop hidden issues that lower their efficiency and pave the way for a breakdown and major repair. Maintenance can nip these in the bud, ensure year-round efficient performance, and keep your monthly bill reasonable. You can also be confident that your unit won’t break down when needed. When repair needs arise, your system’s manufacturer will be more likely to honor its warranty and cover at least part of the cost. Tune-ups take no more than two hours to complete.
